In this episode of The Baseline, we sit down with Chris Silva, a player whose story is all about resilience, adaptation, and the pursuit of greatness. Born and raised in Gabon, Chris made the bold move to the United States in high school, where he not only had to adjust to a new culture but also learned English from scratch—all while playing basketball at a high level. His dedication led him to a standout college career at South Carolina, where he helped take his team to the Final Four.
We also dive into his time in the NBA, including his experience with the Miami Heat, and what it was like to transition from playing on basketball’s biggest stage to continuing his professional career overseas. Now in Herzliya, Chris reflects on his time in Israel and how he’s embraced this new chapter.
Join us for another exciting episode of The Baseline, where we bring you the inspiring stories of players from around the world, their journeys, and the impact of basketball beyond the game.
